    Any input on how the Fab Four rear bumpers are holding up in the winter with the salt and calcium chloride crap they spread all over our roads up here in the north . I’m sure they will eventually start to rust like everything else in PA , but does their powder coating hold up for at least a couple years ?

    Same as any other powder coat, it’ll rust if salt is left on there, especially underneath where it’s open.

    I just received my Fab Fours rear bumper and I’m super impressed with this thing . It is really well build and solid . Very easy to install . I removed the tailgate and tail lights just to be on the safe side .
    I was installing it by myself with no help
    and was avoiding any possible damage.
    I really like this bumper , glad I got it .

    Only complaint is that my pod lights rattle sometimes when I’m off road.

    None yet but soon all black.
    How is it holding up? I picked one up for a steel this past weekend and I can’t wait to put it on. Once you take the factory bumper off, it’s about six bolts and it goes right on correct

    I'm runnin' the fab fours premium front bumper. People hate on these things for having a double chin look but I think it looks mean, clears my tires, and I've smacked deer with nothin' but a hair left behind.

    Looks great! I'm assuming the adaptive cruise or the tss sensor has to be disabled due to the front guard blocking it?

    Thanks! I'm not sure about the tss, I have a 2017 which was before they added all that stuff in there. I wouldn't be surprised if it messed with it though.

    I have the Fab 4 Matrix bumper and I'm looking for the lights to put not the holes above the Winch (not the bar) but I'm not sure what to get. Has anyone added lights to this bumper?
